The battle for Aleppo is officially over. NATO and its proxy forrces on the ground lost.

Having concluded the evacuationof
"rebels" from their last enclave in the eastern part of the city, the
Syrian army said Aleppo has returned to government control, ending the
4-year rebel control over parts of the city that years ago was the
largest metropolitan center in Syria and is now a landscape out of Call
of Duty. The evacuees have been taken to rebel-held territory in the
countryside west of Aleppo and in Idlib province.

In a statement on Syrian TV, the army announced the "return of security
to Aleppo after its release from terrorism and terrorists".

Regaining Aleppo represents a momentous victory for
President Bashar Assad and a crushing defeat for Syria's US and Saudi financed opposition
which will struggle to forge a way forward.

The ancient city has been divided into rebel and government parts since 2012.

Aleppo was once Syria's largest city, and its commercial and industrial hub before the foreign agression against Mr Assad began in 2011.
